i heard today that our worthless president called for "zero tolerance" of looting and law breaking. now, i'm not in favor of roving gangs of armed men pillaging and raping, but it's a little different when you need food and water to survive. from the washington post: "Benigno E. Aguirre of the Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware has been watching and reading about looters in Louisiana. 'It may look from the outside as if they are stealing or breaking the law,' says Aguirre, 'when in fact some of them are trying to survive.'"
